Gyeongbokgung Palace, constructed in 1395, was the principal royal residence of the Joseon Dynasty. The palace complex features elegant wooden architecture, sweeping courtyards, beautiful ponds, and carefully designed gardens. Despite suffering destruction during invasions, it has been restored over time to reflect its historical form. Today, visitors can watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, explore the National Palace Museum, and appreciate traditional Korean architectural harmony. It remains a cultural symbol of Korean history and identity.
